Breast Enhancement

Ok, before you have surgery please research your plastic surgeon. If your going to be looking at your surgeons work the rest of your life, why not do a little (at least) homework on your plastic surgeons credentials.

Want to have a breast enhancement by a best plastic surgeon ?

Don't be afraid to ask your surgeon all the questions you may have. I've talked to many leading plastic surgeons and most of them have said that a high percentage of there patients go online and research the surgical procedure & plastic surgeon.

Since Breast Augmentation is a completely discretional, elective cosmetic surgery procedure, there is a special burden to avoid any intervention that may impair future breast exam or diagnostic testing, including mammography. For this reason, I prefer submuscular placement of breast implants, which fortunately has no negative impact on breast self-examination, and using proper Eklund breast implant displacement technique, little if any impact on Mammography quality. Patients with very small breasts may actually be able to obtain better mammography after augmentation, since the implants have lifted breast tissue and pectoral muscles away from the chest wall, allowing better positioning of the breasts on the mammogram machine. Important details concerning the decision-making process leading up to breast augmentation are presented on the following linked pages, along with many before and after photos and pictures of representative patients.
